You'll Need:
  • 3+ years of private housekeeping and home cooking experience
  • Strong home cooking skills – must enjoy preparing fresh, wholesome meals
  • High attention to detail, personal organisation, and pride in your work
  • Ability to work independently and follow routines
  • Comfortable with pets and teenage children
  • Own reliable transport and driver's licence
